About Republic

Republic is a fast-growing insight-led communications consultancy, we are part of Freuds Group. We deliver insights that fuel communications strategies capable of affecting change; and use them to build narratives that influence, amplify, and engage.

For a story or a strategy to land, we believe it must be rooted in an understanding of its context.

Our team of 8 is made up of socio/political/consumer research experts who are use both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to elicit the most relevant and valuable insights from key audiences globally. We specialise in Opinion Formers: those who are instrumental in shaping and influencing the landscape.

We produce thoughtful, actionable reports that tell our clients where their reputations currently stand, and how to move them forward.
